This is a quick video on setting up a full bleed business card in Adobe Photoshop. Watch in High Quality: www.youtube.com Cut Size: 2″x3.5″ Bleed Size: 2.25″x3.75″ Safety Margin: 1.75″x3.25″ If you have any questions on this tutorial please contact us at: Sac Digital Printing www.sacdigital.com 916-873-2399
If it’s a flattened image there is not much to edit. You would need to erase out what was there and re-type it. If it were me I would import the old card to InDesign as the background and re-create the whole thing in InDesign using the old one as a guide. Once finished you will have a clean editable file that outputs nicely to a PDF for printing and handles bleeds naively.
Thanks for a very professional video-tutorial. I need to upload an already designed image to photoshop or illustrator (*. ia *. jpg *. eps) and edit the info inthere with my name, address, etc. for a business card. Could you please tell me how to do it? All tutorial I have found begin from zero, and I have the card already designed, all I get to do is edit it. Thanks a lot for your answer.
hahahhaa I almost get finish of see this video then I found the HD video and my eyes feel the diference I almost get blind man hahaa thanks for the video I will se the HD much better
Ah. Good catch. Being in CMYK is important but in all reality you shouldn’t be using Photoshop to create a business card in the first place. Use it to edit photos then place those photos in to InDesign. Making a business card in cmyk doesn’t help the output really when you are using a flattened raster image. What will make a noticeable difference is using a vector program like InDesign and InDesign is CMYK by default.
